Cant wait to see a rendering. I need to show this to my nephew. He has been asking for a 62-63 Nova for 2-3 years.(he's 15 now) and need a project. After seeing this he wont be able to walk.

Michael.

upper control arm looks very short probably based off a mustang II design if I had to guess. And a 4 link rear.

Were the rear wheel openings moved rearward to retain the quarter windows? Whats the rocker hieght front and rear and desired ride hieght?

The front is based off a Mustang II, Heidts made the front, The control arms are about 8.25" from the center of the ball joint to the center of the rod-end with adjustments both ways, 4 link rear, Speedway style front and rear swaybars Rocker height is about 3.75 behind the front wheel and about 4 in front of the rear tire. The quarter glass took a little work. But we got them to work perfect. We notched the tubs just a pinch and reworked the tracks slightly and it all worked out. It was nice to work that out while the tubs could still be removed. But the opening remain in the stock location. Travis do you still have the dually?

I like how you matched the front floorpan embossing to the frame!
